Help with mirrors for long vanity

3 years ago

Hi. We are renovating and the main bathroom will have a long vanity along one wall. The basins will be offset due to the bathtub which will be close to the vanity on one side.

I'm looing for advice on what to do for the mirrors over the vanity. Ideally, I'd like to do individual mirrors over each sink in the arch shape (or pill/capsule shape). I'm stuck with that large empty spot between sinks and wall - should it also have a mirror? Should I do 3 mirrors or maybe 2 (one over 2 skinks and one over the other side)? Would really appreciate some advice!

I'm attaching a rough draft of the plan. Please ignore the dimensions as they are not totally correct. The room dimensions are 2480 (wall with vanity) x 4000 (wall with tub). The distance between tub and vanity will be more like 500 rather than 200 as shown on drawing. Also, Sinks will be round and bath will be freestanding.

I would not put another mirror on that wall. It is an awkward spot, with no access between bath and vanity. 200mm will be a dust collecting alcove. If you have cupboards in that corner, there is no room to open. Are you just having a vanity top, in that corner?
Maybe some shelving as shown in the attached photos.

Stick with two mirrors over the basins. In the “gap” you could have a feature light or some artwork.

You can foreshorten the hall with a striped rug. Add bright colors like this and who'll care about how long it is? The unity of the black frames might make for a great gallery grouping. Cut out the shapes of all your pictures in butcher paper and lay them out on the floor to plan a grouping. Then tape the to the wall where you want them to see how they'll feel. If the grouping is the right size, you might mount a floating shelf under them. That will keep the floor clear but will anchor the decor wall.

paint the end door a striking colour, horizontal stripes on the ceiling, and 3 large pendant lights. not sure how adventurous you are, but you could consider painting different colour "zones"- 3 different colurs as you walk down the passage.....possibly even 3 short carpet runners. i love the idea of wainscoting-but you will lose precious centimetres. You can get paintable wallpaper wainscotting.

@mlk01, You are right about the message button, I have it on my profile but no one else seems to so that's odd! If you click on my profile for example, you will see on the top line right beside the profile picture: Your house, Ideasbook, Bookmarks, Activities, Messages. In fact I remember that when anyone typed a reply like I'm doing now, you used to be able to click a "private" button, which meant only the person you were typing to saw your comment. Perhaps Houzz can answer these anomalies?? I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, never got into it and have no reason to do so anytime soon ha-ha As for talking privately to someone, you could post your email address here as could oklouise and delete it whilst you are still able to edit, as I've done once in the past. Just not sure how long the edit feature lasts.

Although a round mirror might be a great artist/attractive choice looking at lighting in your bathroom mirror with lighting would be a better choice if you search Houzz for bathroom mirror with light their were some great designs Pendant would not help when do makeup or beauty routine You wouldn’t need those other accessories to make it fit in - more money for something elde

I think arch windows are very trendy at the moment and are going to date quite quickly. I would give consideration to a mirror along the whole wall or if not the long rectangular ones in the photos.
Actually I'd alwaysgo an entire wall odd recessed mirrored cabinets but I love a lot of bathroom storage.

Thanks everyone! Incredibly helpful advice!! And the photos really help me to visualise the space - so that is super helpful.

I'd love to have more storage behind mirrors but our wall has too many braces, and framing so can't do recessed storage unfortunately. Might be able to do storage that isn't recessed (behind mirror). I'd need to look at the measurements.

Thanks again!
